Ten Million Sought for Alcatraz Style Federal Prison
Washington reports a $10 million appropriation to build a new Alcatraz type federal prison with 600 capacity in Illinois near Springfield. The plan targets hardened criminals, including habitual offenders and bank robbers, to ease overcrowding in postwar federal facilities. An additional $7 million would fund a youth corrections center as part of the same request, now before the House Appropriations Committee.

Five Year Plan Lag Seen China Biggest Problem
Washington officials see a 20 per cent lag in Peiping's five year plan as the gravest issue before the annual congress. Floods and drought hurt agriculture leaving little margin for error in balancing agriculture with industry by 1957. A plan to control the Yellow River tops the congress agenda. China, population 463 million, just bought 200000 tons of rice from Burma to feed about a million people for a year.
